I urge you to reconsider supporting this bill which aims to terminate the tax-exempt status of organizations deemed "terrorist supporting" by the Secretary of Treasury. This provision raises significant constitutional concerns regarding due process and the ability to challenge such designations through the courts. While the intent may be well-meaning, stripping organizations of their tax-exempt status through an opaque administrative process and without robust judicial oversight sets a concerning precedent that could be abused to target disfavored groups. I implore you to protect civil liberties and amend this bill to include clearer standards and stronger judicial review provisions before advancing it further.
